It's my last weekend before I start my pre-op diet. I'm getting super excited, but at the same time, not looking forward to having a liquid diet. My husband is going to take me to the Melting Pot (never been there) for an early Valentines dinner. What did you do, or are you planning to do, with your last weekend?

I just got my approval date today for March 5th. I have a list of "last meals" that I want to eat before I have surgery. Does that sound silly? I just know that my eating habits HAVE to change...so I am savoring all the pizza, fries and steak and cheeses before I move ahead to a healthier life style.

Mine is also March 5th and I too am trying to savor what I won't be able to after surgery!

I am officially jealous. Last week I got approval for April 9 and I have to weigh in like 5 times Btwn now and then. If I have my "last supper" and weigh in higher than the most recent weight they have on record I will get postponed

Wow that's rough BB. I have not been told to lose weight before the surgery yet although I know I will be on Protein shakes for 2-weeks prior. Can't help but lose weight when you are not eating anything!

Wishing you well and success !

I had to lose 15 lbs as kind of a right of passage into the program, and have been waiting since November to get a surgery date. I've got less than 10 weeks to go though! Woo!

Eating of foods I won't be able to eat later made me gain more than 10 pds from my last weigh-in before my pre-op appt. I lost 5 pds on my liquid and when I went in for my pre-op appt 4days before my Surg and my surgeon canceled my surgery and made me reached for 2-3 wks later. Couldn't do it 2 weeks later due to in-laws' vacation so it's the 26th.... :-( I was angry and pissed because I had no clue it could happen. He said it showed I had probs sticking w the same diet I will be on later and it doesn't give confidence that I can handle it......

Wow, I guess I'll take it easy. I have my pre-op appointment Monday, and I'll start my shakes after that. I don't think I've gained any weight, so hopefully this won't be a problem for me. Thanks for the advice.

Good luck to you BTB. I have been doing the same thing...eating at my favorite places and foods etc. my surgery is March 5th so I won't start the liquid item for a couple of weeks yet. That scars me more than not eating much afterwards!
